Relaxing weekend. Nice place to stay for a quick weekend if you are going to spend a lot of time at the beach and pool. Having the pool close by was a plus. The restaurant across the street was great for breakfast and very convenient. Had a tough time with the TV remotes. Could not get the TV to work with the remotes in the family room. Over all it suited our needs and we had a nice and enjoyable weekend.

Super clean and nice condo! Check in/ out process was super easy and communication with the property manager was also easy and they were very helpful. I highly recommend this condo! Something to be aware of though- this condo is on the third floor and there is no elevator, so If you or someone who is staying with you is disabled/handicapped this may not be the best option for you.

Sunny Delight

Although the weather was cool, we enjoyed the brightness of the unit and the amenities. Given our ages, we got our exercise by climbing the stairs to the 3. floor and the long stretches of beach that were easily accessible. It was an enjoyable week with many outings in the area.

Great location, comfortable

Cozy third floor condo (so no upstairs noise, which can happen on lower floors of Sea Colony). Again, great location. Was end of season, so had some small issues with Venetian blinds in bedroom, dishwasher unsecured, base of toilet loose. There had also been recent weather which I am sure complicated things.

This condo was awesome! It was clean, there were towels and linens there that you could tell had been washed. We traveled with our two littles (3 and 1). They loved the space and it was surprisingly toddler friendly! The host was awesome! She responded timely and we had no issue at check in! The pool was clean, access to the beach was close by (without stairs). If there was a downside at all it would be the stairs. Otherwise we had a great stay and would love to come back in the future!

The property is right on the sea shore. You can wake up & walk right up-to the beach. The property is good for a couple & younger kids. If you have older children the sofa bed may not be comfortable for them. My son is 24 so the sofa-bed was not comfortable for him. But the condo is clean, quite & everything you need to enjoy your stay. Restaurants are close by & the board walk is very clse too. Overall great

Loved it!

Carolina Beach is a very nice area to bring your family, boardwalk was only a few shops and less than 2 blocks long. The place we stayed at was nice as well. We choose to save money and not pick oceanfront, but still enjoyed the stay. Pool was kept tidy and up to par. The room itself was above our expectations. We are use to having to bring everything, but the towels, beach towels, linen were all included! Bed was comfy and the kids didn’t complain about the sofa/pull out or the bunks. Owners were very pleasant to deal with and always responded in a timely manner. Would definitely consider this place again.

Clean and easy

The condo was clean and well equipped. The pool area was nice and the beach was just a few steps away. The Ocean Grill Tiki Bar is close by for evening sips and snacks. The boardwalk area was about a mile away. We used our bikes to get there sometimes as parking was expensive. However, I wouldn't recommend biking on the main road; it is busy and there isn't much of a shoulder/bike lane, and no sidewalk. Be aware that there are many stairs to climb as this is a 3rd floor unit, which is not a problem for an able bodied person. The hosts were great communicators, quick to respond, and very friendly. Perfect for couples or a small family. Our boys loved the bunks in the hallway.

Cute little condo, steps from the beach

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend at this well-appointed condo in Carolina Beach which is ~100 feet to the beach. The owner added a new sectional that was clean and great for the space as well as a new king bed which the mattress and pillows were gloriously comfortable. Had issues with the tv remotes but the owner was available via text to address. Overall clean, a couple spots I think the cleaning crew missed and did not have a corkscrew but I informed the owners. Sufficient other cooking/serving-ware and paper products. Definitely would stay again if we decide to visit again.
